General dermatology and dermatology in primary healthcare
A 63-year-old man was referred to the dermatology clinic with a 10-month history of progressive erythema, scaling, swelling and pain of his right index finger after a minor gardening injury. This began at the fingertip, extended proximally and led to a reduced range of motion in the distal interphalangeal joint, nail dystrophy and pustulation. What is the most likely diagnosis?
